Studying electricity feedback for the home with an emphasis on the user

Creator:: Hunter, Josie Elizabeth
Abstract:: As non-renewable resources dwindle and costs increase, it becomes ever more important for people to understand and control their electricity usage. Eco-feedback devices are being developed to increase user awareness and reduce consumption. In order for feedback devices to be successfully adopted into the home, however, they must be appealing...

Energy-Efficient Resource Management Techniques for Cloud Data Centers

Creator:: Dabbagh, Mehiar
Abstract:: Energy consumption has become a great deal for cloud service providers due to financial as well as environmental concerns. Studies show that cloud servers operate, most of the time, at only between 10% and 50% of their maximal utilizations. These same studies also show that servers that are kept ON...

Noise and Blocker Cancellation Techniques for Power and Area Efficient Wireless Receivers

Creator:: Pourbagheri, Saeed
Abstract:: The design of mobile wireless devices has always focused on reducing power, area, and cost. This dissertation proposes two techniques that are leveraged to save power and area and therefore cost. The first techniques reduces the noise in the receiver and results in a relaxed power requirement. The second technique...

Residential water conservation and energy efficiency impacts through effective scheduling and opportunities for regional expansion : a case study of a gas tankless water heater with recirculation loop

Creator:: Johnson, Erica M.
Abstract:: This study focused on the potential water and energy savings from implementing a revised schedule of a recirculation pump connected to a condensing gas tankless water heater located in a study home in Portland, Oregon. The existing recirculation pump activation schedule was studied for its impact on the overall water...

The effect of energy efficiency on the demand for heat

Creator:: Cleland, Andrew L.
Abstract:: Increased efficiency of household energy-using appliances effectively lowers the price of the services these devices provide. Basic consumer theory predicts that ceteris paribus, these lower prices will increase usage, thus making the effect on total energy demand ambiguous. In the literature, this phenomenon has been called the rebound effect. In...

TIMR : Time Interleaved Multi Rail

Creator:: Ruggeri, Thomas L.
Abstract:: This work presents a new energy saving technique for modern digital designs. We propose Time Interleaved Multi-Rail (TIMR) - a method for providing two dynamic supply rails to a circuit. This technique uses the first supply rail to mask the transition delay while changing the voltage of the second rail....

Joint Resource Scheduling and Peak Power Shaving for Cloud Data Centers with Distributed Uninterruptible Power Supply

Creator:: AlAnazi, Sultan (Sultan Abdulaziz)
Abstract:: The grid company enforces high penalties for the peak power demands of cloud data centers. These high penalties result in high electricity bills that can be avoided by relying on the servers' Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) as a source of energy during peak load periods. This thesis proposes a management...

An information modeling framework and desktop application to compose unit manufacturing process models for sustainable manufacturing assessment

Creator:: Smullin, Matteo M.
Abstract:: The demand from consumers for more sustainable products, and the need to comply with government regulations motivates manufacturers to evaluate their operations for opportunities to reduce environmental impact and improve economic competitiveness. Manufacturers have actively improved the sustainability performance of their products through the use of sustainability assessment methods and...

Power Efficient Architectures for High Accuracy Analog-to-Digital Converters

Creator:: Zhang, Yi
Abstract:: Incremental ADCs (IADCs) have found wide applications in sensor interface circuitry since, compared to ∆Σ ADCs, they provide low-latency high-accuracy conversion and easy multiplexing among multiple channels. On the other hand, continuous-time ∆Σ ADCs (CTDSM) have been receiving more and more attention as a power-efficient solution in targeting medium to...

Sustainable building design framework : an integrated approach

Creator:: Piacenza, Joseph R.
Abstract:: This paper combines two research publications working toward the development of an integrated framework for commercial sustainable building design. Current methodologies utilize a traditional architectural top-down approach to sustainable building design practices that consumes financial and temporal resources early in the design process. By identifying the array mechanical subsystems required...
